While KDE may do some autodetection re: this, my "Root Shell" (uncustomized) from Konsole runs 'su -'; which will be a problem if you want to use sudo instead. (Or can't su for some reason.) If you do, you can edit the existing session or create a new session to run 'sudo -s'. I use this nice feature to have a session that runs "su - -c 'screen -x -R -s /bin/bash'" (and a similar one for non-root). I don't know show well (if at all) screen runs under sudo, but the equivalent should be something along the lines of 'sudo screen -x -R -s /bin/bash' Hrm, after writing this I realize I'm not in the "sudo" thread anymore. *shrug* Maybe this is useful information to someone. -- "If there's one thing we've established over the years, it's that the vast majority of our users don't have the slightest clue what's best for them in terms of package stability." -- Gentoo Developer Ciaran McCreesh -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
